CeeDee Lamb 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: Can the Former Fantasy WR1 Return to Form?
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb appeared in 14 games last season but was hampered by injuries throughout parts of the year, resulting in the least productive fantasy campaign of his career. Even so, Lamb eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards for the fifth consecutive season and led Dallas in targets per game. The team's overall leader in total targets, however, was George Pickens, who erupted for more than 1,400 yards and nine touchdowns in his first season with the Cowboys. Entering 2026, there will undoubtedly be debate over which Dallas receiver should come off the board first in fantasy drafts, but Lamb is still likely to be the preferred option in most formats given his longer track record of success with quarterback Dak Prescott. The last time Lamb and Prescott both played all 17 games, Lamb finished as the fantasy WR1 while recording one of the most prolific receiving seasons in NFL history in 2023. Prescott has supported multiple top-24 fantasy receivers on several occasions throughout his career, and fantasy managers should feel confident that head coach Brian Schottenheimer will continue to lean on a high-powered passing attack. With his rare combination of high floor and elite ceiling, Lamb should remain a strong target within the first 15 picks of most fantasy drafts.
